Hello!

If you spend any time on LinkedIn or following the news, you hear a lot about layoffs. So many people assume hiring is easy right now. But ask a recruiter that is actively hiring and you most likely hear a different answer.

Why?

Because even after 100K+ layoffs in tech in 2022, unemployment is still near an all-time low. More candidates are available. And there is less competition for them compared to 6-12 months ago. But some things don't change. Top candidates are still hard to find. And there is always competition for them.

In this week’s episode, Dan and Louis dive into the topic of “Competition for Candidates.” Highlighting what companies can do to become more competitive for top talent. With candidates entertaining so many options, how can companies assess themselves to stand out amongst the crowd? They use the competition of the FIFA World Cup as a segue into the topic.
